The Oseberg Loom

For Jól, Aldric made me a loom based on the one found in the Oseberg burial ship. It's a small version, a prototype for the one he will make with the proper measurements.

I warped it today.
I have no idea if this is how they warped it in the 9th century, but this is how I did it. I still have lots of research to do to find more about how to use it properly. I decided to warp a band that was found in the same burial mound. It's not the band that was on the loom when they found it, but it's possible that this band was woven on a similar loom. Also, my tablets are inspired on tablets found in the same era. I've got chills.

Warping on my warping board to make things simple

All 10 tablets ready to go

Not sure if this is right but... it looks ok
